Please elaborate on why each is essential and how they contribute to a company's overall performance and reliability.Similarly, provide a list of red flags or negative traits that indicate a subpar or potentially problematic property management company, with explanations on how these might negatively impact my real estate operations.Create a scoring or rating system that I can use to objectively evaluate and compare each property management company based on the traits and skills identified earlier.

That will make all the difference in the rates.

Given the current statement of market, interest rate, good turnkey providers , house prices etc…, would you choose memphis or alabama market to invest in real estate.

So yes, more expensive homes with lower rates can be different than cheaper homes in higher areas but then actual principal, interest, and insurance will likely do the off-setting. 

I'm thinking about starting at 870k with 10% down and an interest rate of 5% with a 20 year term.

At current rates probably 30% down to get to a 1.2 DSCR.As an OOS investor, you have a huge disadvantage compared to local investors and you are cost burdened by paying a PM.

In a position when I had 55 k and to do a quick start, I would have partnered with a  high school friend, got a  DSCR loan with a LLC by pooling money together and have an exit strategy of a buyout after 3 years or so.

It might state you are applying at ABC Bank for an 80% LTV loan with up to an 8% interest rate with a loan of $XXX,XXXSo, if you don't qualify for that loan, or you cannot get the interest rate stated, or maybe the appraisal is too low to an 80% LTV loan for that amount then you can break the deal because you can't get the financing you anticipated but instead you are CHOOSING (based on advice of the loan person) to switch lenders.

I have the highest success rate at getting my client's issue resolved over the phone whenever I call them.

Down the line if you start to have too many properties to self manage, increased rents/lower interest rates may allow you more room to do so.
